On þām ealdostum anlīcnessum heald wīf þæs lēon ceafl, hire gripe līþe ac unbūgende. Riht līþaþ hēo mid geþylde. Ymbhwyrfed, tīgþ sēo sceawunge. Þæs nīetenes mūscelas cnottiaþ under hire handflatan, and hire hand tīehþ, tīgiende tō gewealde. Þæt þe mihte getrēow bēon, wend tō gewinne, plega willan þe stilnesse orþes forgiet, and mā on stearcnesse belūcþ. Swā mā þæs lēon manu biþ gefæstnod, swā mā forgiet sēo hand mildheortnesse and gemyndgaþ hire āgenne þring āna. Sēo eorþe self mæg tō heard bēon geþrȳcced. Geþenc þone feld þe mid bōtum æfter rēne biþ geslegen, eorþe geþrycced oþþæt wyrttruman orþes gȳrnaþ, and wend behāt līfes tō heardre rinde.
Þēos ymbhwyrft clypaþ on spellum ealdra wuda, þǣr rinde þone stocc wiþ æxum and winde byrnaþ. Trēow, gesceapene mid unāblinnendum stormum, wexaþ cnottan and burl, heora grān gewriden mid gēarum stearces standes. On stillum hyrnum hūses is se wēriga bēod, his brerd gemearcod mid cneorissum elboga, āgotenes blæces, and scræpe disca. Wǣtme his trumnesse wierþ still gewita ǣlcre nīede: se cnyssede fȳst, þæt restende hēafod, glite calices þe behindan wæs forlǣten. Sēo boll of walhnutte gecorfen, þurh cycena and fȳr forþ giefen, berþ mearca spona and tīde, gesceapen mid slāwre nīede handa þe ne witan ā heora āgen mægen.
Andlang rūgra ēa þǣr lām gaderaþ, wyrcþ se lāmwyrhta lām of ēaofrum ādelfedne, cnedende hine mid hō his handflatan. Tō micel nīed awyrþ hine, þone hring feallende, tōbrecende þæt þe wæter healdan mihte. Ac on tīdum irres wexaþ þā styrenessa scearpe, and þæt fæt fealleþ. Þis is lār þæs ealdan cræftes: nīed mæg scieppan, ac nīedung mæg brecan. On mearcburgum scyldodon leþerbærsmēlas smiþas fram spearcan and hǣte gehamrodes metes. Ac ofermǣl þring īsenes on anfilte wend smēale ecge tō brōsce, sweord stearc geworden and gearo tō springenne. Sēo ilce racu biþ gesæd on wedere, þonne sumeres heofonas niþer gāþ and wolcnu nēah þringaþ, hefige mid behāte þunorrēnes. Sēo lyft þiccaþ, stenc eorþan rīst, and sēo woruld bītt ālǣtennesse þe ne cymþ oþþæt ealle unstille sind.
Þurh stǣr heald ǣlc wyrttrumanhūs, ǣlc wel geinseglod fat, ǣlc hærfest eorþæppla gemynd þæs þe under þringe þurhwunaþ, and þæs þe fealleþ. Þonne se willa tō gewealde tō tæsl wierþ, þonne bēoþ feldas getredene, fatu tōbrocene, tōl tōspringende, and stormas settaþ ofer lande, bīdende geþyldes tō hāmcyme. Þǣr is wīsdōm on healdunge genōges and nā mā.
Gif þū findst þē selfne tōdæg tō heard þringende, bīd and cned dāh oþþæt hē tōgædere cymþ, and gestill ǣr hē heardige. Sit æt ealdum trēowenum bēode and rest þīne handa flæte, gefēlende þā mearca þe þā þe ǣr cōmon, lǣfdon. Gā þurh stande trēowa and gīem hwelce stoccas sind gewridene, and þonne hwelce on winde bugon. Gif storm þrēaþ, læt his heft bēon intinga tō hlystenne mā þonne tō þringenne forþ.
